Hi all, greatings from Osnabrueck. I find the QY10 100% good for what it is and for the size. I have been using it since 1991, I was a soldier back then and used it while chilling out from fighting terrorists on a small island somewhere. It was perfect back then. Fits anywhere and for a small size with a BIG BIG band sound..... Can't beat it. Well it saved my day. I am now using the AW 16G but still dust of the QY10 from time to time.

If you want to here my stuff and slag me off, just go to myspace and look for martinfrederick@hotmail.com and look at my video

Have fun all

Martin

im really new to sequence stuff, but its a really cool device, and after some time studying the manual, its realy fun to use. Its sometimes hard to understnd, has a verry small display only, and after some times using it you get sore hands because of the arrangement of the buttons. But its still great!

ooh, this one I like. Although the interface is HORRENDOUS, I use up a lot of time pressing wrong buttons that are very small and layouted in an insane manner, but for what it is, it is amazing. listen to that Bassdrum! If you do it right, you can get a complete, yet pretty minimal House Set out of it. The Sounds are so static, it will get everybody out of their mind wanting to pull their clothes off while not believing that someone is crazy enough to actually use them. And the possibility of very high and very low Pitches leads to weird effects just right for some strange experimental background noise. In the right hands, this baby can offer the whole range from evil Industrial/Powerelectronics to the sweetest pop music on the whole world. BUT: there's something wrong with mine and that's why I only use it occansionally: does anyone else have the problem of not being able to edit Voices in Patterns properly? They always pop back to some kind of default state when I change patterns. I have two QY10s and they both have this problem. Is this some software bug? I've checked the internal batteries, but they seem to be allright. Yamaha service never called back. I would have recorded tons of material with the QY10 if it wasn't for this annoying Bug. Normally I would have given 5 out of 5.

The qy10 is great for someone who is just staring out. the sequencer is very basic and the sounds are ok(you can't edit the sounds). The battery life sucks or may be my qy10 has a problem because it only last around 2 hours, but in any case as long as you have a power supplie you should be fine. The qy10 is a great tool to write music on the go so if you see one grab it and you won't be disappointed.
